About This Activity
Description
At the Y, our flag football league helps youth develop fundamental skills while learning teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship.
Skills that are taught include passing, catching, route-running and defensive footwork, and the rules of the game. The focus of this program is to have fun, make new friends, and play flag-football in a hybrid recreational-competitive environment.

PARENT COMMUNICATION:All notifications will be done using the Remind App for leagues. Download the Remind App in advance to receive all communications in a prompt manner. Email communications goes to the email on file for the payer of the program during registration.
SPECIAL REQUESTS:Our priorities are creating a playing environment that allows players to be on balanced and fair teams, placing your child on a team that practices on one of your requested evenings and/times, and helping our parent volunteers have equal access to resources to help players grow in skills and have a fun season.
FRIENDS:We understand that playing sports with friends can make the experience more enjoyable. However, we want each parent to encourage their child to view their team placement with an open mind. If they are lucky and placed on a team with another player that they already know, then that is fantastic. We are not able to accommodate requests. Please help them see this as a chance and opportunity to meet new players and gain more friendships. Cooperating with new teammates is a great growth of experience, and reminds them that they still will see their friends outside of the program.
